Property Description

The 21+ acre Star Trail Ranch stretches across a gorgeous hillside and down to a flat meadow in the Rim Rock Ranch Vineyard Estates - a highly sought-after gated subdivision of sprawling, private, wine-country estates, set against the backdrop of the Rim Rock cliffs. The dramatically beautiful Star Trail Ranch features nearly 180-degree vistas, stretching from Coyote Valley out to Mount Saint Helena, as well as a majestic view of the night sky that inspired its name. Whether building a weekend or permanent home, you can select between at least two distinct building-site options - one on the hillside with sweeping views of the valley & sunsets over the Mayacamas range; the other in the expansive lower meadow with absolute privacy, stands of native oaks, and a small, year-round, spring-fed pond that is frequented by abundant birds & wildlife. Plant your vineyard in the mineral-rich red volcanic and alluvial soils, along the south-facing hillside that offers excellent drainage. Or perhaps you’d prefer to cultivate an olive grove or make your own honey, as many Rim Rock neighbors have done. Add a swimming pool or simply enjoy the peace & serenity of untouched nature. Star Trail Ranch is just 25 min from Calistoga & Napa Valley; and 2 hours from SF and the East Bay. While it feels completely removed from the fast pace of daily life, the ranch is only a 3-min drive to Hidden Valley Lake’s supermarket, restaurants, shops, and 18-hole golf course. Your wine-country retreat awaits!
